Notifications

Instant: By default, all of your members will receive email notifications as soon as new comments are made on their VoiceThreads. If you don’t want your members to receive those notifications, you can toggle these settings to “off”. Individuals can still enable their own notifications individually if they want to continue receiving them.

Daily: The daily notification can be turned on instead of or in addition to the instant notifications. The Daily Digest arrives once per day, and it includes a summary of all activity on your VoiceThreads in the past 24 hours. Use the various settings to decide which categories of VoiceThread will be included in the Daily Digest. Individuals can still set their own Daily Digest preferences, as well.

Security and Restrictions

Allow students to start private conversations with instructorsBy default, students are permitted to start private conversations. If you do not want to allow students to do this, un-check this box. Students will still be able to participate in private conversations that their instructors initiate with them.

Prevent members from editing or creating more identity namesBy default your users can alter their identity names or even create additional identities. This is powerful for fulfilling different roles at an institution or even participating in role-playing lessons. If you don’t want your members to have this option, however, just check this box.

Allow all members of your license to access your third-party closed-caption licenseIf you have integrated with a third-party caption provider, check this box to allow all of your members to use it. If you only want specific individuals under your license to have access, leave this box unchecked and then go into “Manage Members” to enable this feature for those individuals.

Playback Settings

Set default playback settings for any VoiceThreads created by members of your license. Any time they create a new VoiceThread, the defaults you’ve set here will be enabled for them. They can then alter them as needed for their individual VoiceThreads.
